DHITS
DAD IO/J-6 hosts the annual Defense Health Information Technology Symposium (DHITS). The symposium provides a unique venue for knowledge sharing, innovative ideas, discussions of lessons learned, and the introduction of exciting new developments within the Military Health System.
DAD IO/J-6 has made the decision not to host DHITS in 2021 in recognition of the significant health-related risk of gathering speakers and attendees from across the globe, and the logistical and financial risks associated with planning DHITS during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
